Khan's dance director and partner in the performance Farooq Chaudhry told Olympic Rings And Other Things' Nicholas Wolaver "It's disgraceful U.S. media could make that decision and [I] would like to know why."

Wolaver told me he questioned the myriad British news sources that said Khan's performance was a tribute to victims of the 7/7 terror attacks, though Khan doesn't appear to deny that at any point, either. You can view some video of the Khan interview over at Wolaver's site; regardless of the actual theme of the performance, its exclusion from NBC's broadcast continues to be a mystery.
